It is safe to say that the Original Tribal Chief Roman Reigns is one of the biggest stars in all of professional wrestling. Recently, Triple H shared his thoughts on the former WWE Universal Champion and shared his initial thoughts after he first saw Reigns.
Recently, while speaking on the Roommates Show, Triple H mentioned that when he first saw Roman Reigns he told the late Dusty Rhodes that Reigns would be the biggest star in the company within the next decade.
“The first time I ever met Roman Reigns, I had just taken over and started what would become our developmental system, and he had just transitioned over from football to being in our developmental system. The first day I met him, I sat down with him for 20 minutes just to get to know him a little bit. Walked out of the interview and, at the time, Dusty Rhodes was working in developmental with me. I walked up to Dusty and said, ‘If that kid is not the biggest star we ever have in ten years, I don’t know what we’re doing. Holy s***. He has everything.’
“When he walked in the room, you couldn’t help but look at him and go, ‘Who is that?’ He has an innate X-factor charisma. Sometimes that happens, sometimes it’s the guy you don’t see it in them, ‘He’s good. He’s athletic. He’s this and that,’ but it’s really the character stuff. Sometimes it clicks and sometimes it doesn’t,” Triple H said.
Roman Reigns is set to face Solo Sikoa on the Raw Netflix Premiere.
